Book Review: Intrigue in IstanbulBook Review:

The latest installment in the new Jane Wunderly Mystery series featuring an American widow turned private investigator in 1920s England.

When vibrant American widow Jane Wunderly arrives in 1920s Turkey in search of her father, she finds a country redefining itself after the fall of the Ottoman Empire—and a deadly criminal who can’t escape the past . . .

Istanbul, 1926: After her archeologist father makes a clandestine journey abroad, Jane and the dapper Mr. Redvers trace his footsteps while signs of danger loom back home in the United States. They’re greeted at their destination by Aunt Millie and unsettling news: Professor Wunderly was on a mission to locate the lost heart of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent—a legendary relic from the Ottoman Empire said to possess potent mystical powers—then vanished completely, leaving behind his unpacked luggage, a perplexing riddle, and an eerie mystery Jane must solve to keep her loved ones safe.
 
What starts off as a clear-cut investigation becomes an intercontinental game of cat and mouse as Jane realizes a gang of nameless figures have been stalking her every move from Turkey to Hungary. And it seems even helpful friends can’t be trusted for long when a man is stabbed to death on the Orient Express to Budapest. With Redvers by her side and few clues to rely on, Jane’s desperate search for her father leads to centuries-old secrets and an unidentified enemy who could make her disappear like the missing Sultan’s heart . . .

Erica Ruth Neubauer spent eleven years in the military, nearly two as a Maryland police officer, and one as a high school English teacher, before finding her way as a writer. She has been a reviewer of mysteries and crime fiction for publications such as Publishers Weekly and Mystery Scene Magazine for several years, andshe’s a member of Sisters in Crime and Mystery Writers of America. Erica Ruth lives in Milwaukee, WI.

ARC Book Review:

I enjoy this series because I get to travel the world in style. This time we’re on a train to Budapest after spending some time in Istanbul. The story grabbed me from the very beginning. I loved following along as Jane and Redvers tried to find Jane’s dad and the Sultan’s heart. The mystery was well-paced and the search was fascinating. I enjoyed everything about this and devoured it in one sitting. Highly recommended for those who like a good mystery or love to travel through books.

Book Review: No Rings Attached

No love. No commitment. No problem, right?

Fleeing her own nuptials wasn’t part of wedding planner Sangeeta Parikh’s design for her life. Neither was stumbling into chef Sonny Pandya’s arms, nor the video that went viral. Now they’re an internet sensation! So why not fake the relationship with no commitment? Sangeeta can save face and her job, and Sonny gets needed exposure for his restaurant. It’s a good plan for two commitmentphobes…until all that pretend hand-holding and kissing start to feel real.

From Harlequin Special Edition: Believe in love. Overcome obstacles. Find happiness.

Once Upon a Wedding

Book 1: The Five-Day Reunion
Book 2: Matched by Masala
Book 3: No Rings Attached
Book 4: The Business Between Them

ARC Book Review:

I enjoyed watching Sonny and Sangeeta’s relationship develop. Because of their deception, they are forced into living and working together. It is rapidly apparent that the sparks between them are still there. Both fight hard against their feelings. Sonny doesn’t want to get hurt again, and Sangeeta is convinced it’s too soon after her non-wedding to have feelings for Sonny.As Sonny and Sangeeta got deeper into their deception, the playacting started to feel very real. Their fake dates to keep Asha happy became harder to separate fake from reality. Sonny felt his heart trying to have hope but was afraid to trust. Sangeeta kept fighting against her suspicion that her feelings for Sonny were real. When an unexpected twist made their deception public, both must decide if what they have is worth fighting for. I loved the ending and seeing the changes in both characters. looking forward to the next book in this series.

I thought I knew my best friend.

Transcontinental video chats didn’t do him justice.

He’s not an awkward teenager anymore, and one look from him sets my body on edge.

I’m the type of woman who has her life together. Sure, a panic attack here or there might derail my day, but I’ve got this. I have my life under control.

I’m not the type of woman to lust after the most important person in my life.

But he knows me better than I know myself—even the anxious parts I try my best to hide.

Now that we’re in the same place, everything in our relationship is changing.

James

I’m back for her.

She’s my best friend.

Being in love with Jess has been the sweetest agony, and I’ve waited long enough.

I’ve watched her fall for men who don’t appreciate her.

I’ve waited for her to see me.

SERIES BLITZ – Boulder Series by Eve L. Mitchell

Boulder Series

Author: Eve L. Mitchell

Genre: Contemporary Romance

The Boulder Series is an interconnected series that explores the relationships between friends, family, and the family you choose…with some love, heat, and underground fighting along the way!

The series covers tropes of forbidden romance (ex-boyfriend’s older brother), enemies-to-lovers, friends to lovers, opposites attract and second-chance love.

The Boulder Series will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions. You will laugh, scream, feel the characters’ excitement, and it’s possible you may throw your e-reader (just make sure it lands somewhere soft).

A complete four-book series that has all the feels. What’s stopping you from jumping into Boulder?

The series includes Unbroken Devotion, Dark Heart, Unbroken Bonds and Dark Soul.

UNBROKEN DEVOTION

You can’t help who you love…even if it is your ex-boyfriend’s older brother.

I had no idea our breakup wouldn’t be the worst part of my day when I went home that night. Or that kissing the brother of my ex at a funeral wouldn’t bring me any comfort.

The plan was to start over. A fresh start, far away from them both, and everyone else who cared about me.

Nothing is ever as easy as it should be.

I was still the same old me, and my fractured heart wasn’t prepared for a tumble down memory lane with the same people—and feelings—that I was running from.

Colton Dawson was off limits, or he should have been. Yet, the heart wants what it wants…and mine wants Colton.

But how can I stay away when his world keeps colliding with mine?

DARK HEART

Nice guys finish last. Words I live by. In my world, it pays to be the bad guy…and I’m very good at being bad.

I have a thriving business built on blood, sweat and tears—literally. Underground fights are my bread and butter, and no one interferes with that if they know what’s good for them.

Not even some expensive-looking blonde, with dark blue eyes and a mouth that doesn’t know when to stop.

Babysitting Lela Morgan starts out as a favour to a “friend,” but the longer I’m forced to look out for her, the harder it is to keep my hands to myself.

And the more I want her, the crueller my words become. But in my dangerous world I cannot afford to be seen to be going soft.

For the first time in my life, I’m close to losing control. The harder I push her away, the harder she pushes my buttons.

But she’s tougher than she looks, and she’s not going down without a fight.

Could it be that enemies make the best lovers?

UNBROKEN BONDS

Opposites attract…and we’re complete opposites in every way.

Hope Walker is quiet, studious and someone I have overlooked for far too long. But when I crash her study session in the library, it’s clear she knows exactly who I am.

It would seem that my playboy reputation precedes me, and for once, I wish it wouldn’t.

Because the more I get to know the girl hiding behind the books, the more I want her.

After she helps my friends and I out, I wonder how I could have been so blind to what’s been right in front of me all along.

My friends are my family, like brothers, but our bond is stronger than blood—and that bond is currently being tested.

When a dangerous enemy threatens to take her away from me, I will do anything to keep her safe. Even get my hands dirty…and lie to my brothers.

When the truth catches up with me, will it break our bond for good?

I should know. I’m getting a crash course in parenthood. Lela has left…and I don’t know where she is.

I’m left picking up the pieces and learning to balance being a wicked alpha and a new father.

In my line of work, weakness is a death sentence.

The sharks are circling—and they’re out for blood. My blood.

But if they think I’ve gone soft, they’re about to get a rude awakening.

Because if there is one thing I do know, it’s that this dark soul never loses.

When an old adversary returns to collect a debt, bringing new temptations…will it cost me everything?

I was a patient man to the very core.

Always the number two to the man at the top… continuously playing the game.

I knew that biding my time would pay off eventually and then a winning bid at auction and it would all be mine.

I’d played the role that was expected of me and now it was my time to shine.

I could finally live the dream I’d always wanted.

I just never expected him; I never expected to lose…

I never thought I’d fall for the boss, twelve years younger than me.

Book Review: A Spinster’s Guide to Danger and DukesBook Review:

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a lady in danger must be in need of rescue, but whether she wants to be rescued is up for debate—for fans of Evie Dunmore and Netflix’s Bridgerton from the bestselling author of A Lady’s Guide to Mischief and Mayhem!
 
England, 1867: Miss Poppy Delamare is living a lie. To escape an odious betrothal, she fled to London where she’s been hiding as the unassuming secretary Flora Deaver. However, when her beloved sister is accused of murder, Poppy cannot leave her to the wolves. Only a most unexpected—and unwelcome—collision interrupts her journey home . . . 

Despite a rather dismal first meeting, Joshua Fielding, the Duke of Langham, has no intention of abandoning a lady in need. But he’s not above asking a favor. A fake betrothal will give Poppy and her sister the power of the dukedom and protect Langham from the society misses intent on becoming his duchess.

Yet the longer the ruse goes on, the more Poppy and Langham realize how false their first impressions were—and the less pretend their engagement feels. But before Langham can propose in truth, their search reveals a tangled web of lies and betrayals. With time running out, can Poppy and Langham find the real culprit—before Poppy becomes the next victim?

ARC Book review:

This was such a fun and interesting book to read! I absolutely enjoyed the combination of a historical romance and a murder mystery, I thought the idea was so clever! This book kept me on the very edge of my seat with all the unexpected twists and turns, I had no idea where it was going to end and I really enjoyed trying to figure it out along the way. I felt it was all very well written and the pacing of the story made it very easy to read. By the end I was very surprised and delighted all at once.
